Herr's the price tracker. Definitely dropped before Christmas last year.

Sweaty Betty sale - up to 60% off, makes some of it almost affordable!

And code Extra15 stacks too for a further 15% off

Asda george online sale on clothing seems to have started but not advertised. Be quick as stuff always sell out fast online. I got some great bits for the kids

Dunelm has 20% off a lot of their Mason Cash stuff - would make a good gift for a baking friend.

Check your boots clearance in store. I managed to buy 2 flat lay co makeup bags for £5 each (£27 on amazon) the parachute drawstring ones. As well as elvive wonder water for £1 each (£6 on Amazon). I also managed to grab some hairbrushes for 75p (boots brand ones) and some hair bits for 50p or 75p which honestly I’ve been over the moon about, anyway thought I would mention, as someone else might be able to find them in their local boots or at least go and check the clearance and see what they have, they had those high quality ‘wet’ brushes in too for about £3-£5 in pink

Similar here, I was very confused when there was another bad bitch energy item in my box because I was sure I’d ordered items without that on, but then the item of actually ordered was in the mystery bag so they’d obviously just packaged them in the wrong places.

Moonpig have free delivery on 2 or more gifts, includes the sale items with code DELIVEROFF. Includes the £9.99 next day before 1pm delivery option too!

I ordered a couple of the Cath Kidston Christmas boxes for gifts. https://www.moonpig.com/uk/gifts/offers/

Do you have a link? Can’t see much in the kids sale that I haven’t seen before so unsure if I’m looking in the right place

Hi, has anyone got an Argos code they won’t need, for over £100 spend please?

On the super seconds list - Faye Dumas Ceramics has some lovely pieces, and Bathe Enchanted has some really cute recognisable character bath bombs and wonky soap bars.

I can recommend the notelet tins at 2 for £12 if that takes you to the free delivery point? The cards are great, you get 15 cards and envelopes in each tin. They make good gifts too. If you need to add anything else to got to £25+ I just add gift tags or wrapping paper or stamps. I have the birthday tins in the photo below

Thanks so much for this I just nabbed 2 bottles of the hotel chocolat caramel vodka cream for £15 delivered

I’ve just seen this:https://amzn.eu/d/0c7B11Ob
for whoever was looking for kids nail varnish, I can’t vouch for it myself, but it seems to have good reviews, and a pretty set for £5!

Is anyone who bought the hotel chocolate velvetiser drink from moonpig able to advise on the expiry date please? Thank you!

Not a Superseconds seller, just a small family business I've used before. For anyone in Nottingham, Leicestershire or Derbyshire (or looking for a suitable present for someone who is), Dukki Gifts have some cute/funny things with regional sayings and dialect on them. I'm getting the "12 days of Nottingham Chrissmuss" tea towel for my MIL this year. https://www.dukkigifts.co.uk/

Thanks for this!! Two teacher gifts and a morph set of makeup brushes (no reciepent so maybe the Dunelm Gift appeal!)

If anyone has previously bought any candles, bath bombs or soaps from any super second sellers and can recommend them, I would appreciate it. I’m looking for
smaller, filler type presents to make some gift baskets.

Spidey mess free colouring is on a great offer on Amazon for £2.84

bought soap from Ray of Soap last year and it’s lovely. only reason I didn’t buy more this year is I’ve still got some left! but can vouch for both the gingerbread and christmas eve soaps

I'll pm one to you

I bought some a couple of weeks ago and it was VERY short- dated, I think mine was October '26.
Not a problem for me as I find it's short-lived once in my house anyway 😳but no good for gifting.

That’s a great deal, got a few for DGS.

My Baby Born order arrived on Friday.
I spent £30 and got so much for my money. Delighted with the bargain so thanks to OP!

Boots have 20% off premium fragrance making Sauvage 100ml £100, does that sound like the best I can do or should I hold out? I'm getting pre-buy nerves!
